In tracing unseen threads that connect parallel geographies of struggle found in contemporary Mayan and Palestinian narratives, \u003ci\u003eIndigenous Affinities\u003c\/i\u003e proposes affinity as a new conceptual framework. Eqeiq shows how – despite emerging from distinct historical processes of minoritization, subalternization, and racialization – Mayan and Palestinian written, visual, and performance texts articulate a common configuration of Indigeneity. These seemingly unrelated connections, Eqeiq contends, can be read through shared histories of land struggle, practices of autonomy, quests for liberation, and collective resistance to racial capitalism, military oppression, and colonial violence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEqeiq examines murals that offer a visual testimony to common struggles and transnational connection, explores fragmented bilingualisms that have propelled language revival and revitalization, highlights a shared concern with borders, and documents the performative commemorations of massacres. Reading such sites together in the complexities and specificities of disparate contexts, \u003ci\u003eIndigenous Affinities\u003c\/i\u003e illuminates how the lens of affinity can elucidate solidarity and resistance within the Global South.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eNote on Transliteration\u003c\/i\u003e   ix\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eIntroduction: \u003c\/b\u003eOn Conversations Yet to Be Had   1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e1 \u003c\/b\u003eOn Affinity and Affiliative Comparison   19\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e2 \u003c\/b\u003eTopographies of Affinities: Writing Erasure and Borderlands   51\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e3 \u003c\/b\u003eBorder Crossers and City Dwellers: Narratives of Indigenous Urban Culture   94\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e4 \u003c\/b\u003eMurals, Marches, and Metaphors: Performative Commemoration\u003cbr\u003ein Rural Chiapas and Palestine   119\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eConclusion:\u003c\/b\u003e Unveiling with Affinity   153\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePostscript: \u003c\/b\u003eIndigenous Affinities after the Gaza Genocide   157\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAcknowledgments \u003c\/i\u003e  167\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eGlossary \u003c\/i\u003e  179\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNotes \u003c\/i\u003e  181\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBibliography \u003c\/i\u003e  211\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIndex \u003c\/i\u003e  225\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Fordham University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52619269275928,"sku":"9781531510282","price":22.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/indigenous-affinities-toward-solidarity-across-the-global-south-paperback-softback-9781531510282","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
